Abstract
Performance of coconut varieties on growth, yield attributing characters and leaf mineral content of coconut palms was studied in sandy soil of coastal Orissa. The experiment was conducted at the AlCRP on Palms, Konark with ten varieties. The yield attributing characters were significantly influenced by the variety and season. More number of leaves and spadices production was observed in rainy season. Maximum button shedding was observed within two months of spadix opening. Rainy season spadices experienced least button shedding percentage as compared to other seasons. The leaf N, P, K content was higher in rainy season.
